When storing one or more of the 1900+ chemicals on the market, you really need to be confident your tank can cope with the aggressive nature of some chemicals.
At Polymaster, the development of polymer suitability starts in the laboratory and filters into our mixing, extruding, and grinding processes through to material analysis, PIAT (Peak Internal Air Temperature) and AS4766:2006 certification.
Polyethylene is classified by;
- Density (PE property which measures mass per unit volume and tested to ASTM D1505)
- Melt Flow Index (viscosity/molecular weight)
Some of the most common types of polyethylene are:
- High Density (HDPE)
- Low Density (LDPE)
- Linear Low-Density PE (LLDPE)
- Cross-Linked PE (XLPE)
Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is the polyethylene commonly used in rotational moulding.
LLDPE is a co-polymer of ethylene and another longer olefin such as Butene, Hexene, and Octene. Through the use of these co-monomers come about the changes in a polymer structure that create side groups on the main chain of polymers that act like branches, resulting in improved physical and mechanical properties.
Understanding how these properties perform allows a skilled tank manufacturer to have absolute confidence that your chemical will be securely stored.
Polymaster’s technical experience, commitment to quality and world-class R&D facility allow us the opportunity to produce customer-driven innovations so that we can set the benchmark in the roto-moulding industry.
We offer a comprehensive range of high-performance engineered polyethylene along with world-class technical support to satisfy the most demanding storage requirements. We produce a broad range of polymer grades appropriate for manufacturing the most critical storage solutions.
Our proprietary range of Hexathene™ polyethylene leads the industry in providing high-performance properties for a variety of applications. Unique formulated additives are blended for increased resistance to aggressive agents which tend to diffuse through polymers, causing oxidative degradation. We stop this with Hexathene™.
